Articulated black+red 'Aino'. #2 in front and #4 in the back. I screwed up the head but it'll still fish.

If I could figure out how to add a picture of my first fly I would...someone help me out here... 😊

[Swing4Steel]

I use a photobucket account and paste the img link

Not as nice as so many on here but here is my sixth fly tied. I kinda like it.

That will work. Try selecting a shorter hackle (barb length) for that size of hook. And strip one side off of it

[fenwickfisher]

Just to add to swing4steels post...make sure the natural curve of the feather is facing the rear of the hook and strip whichever side will lay adjacent to the hook( usually the "top" or left side of feather)

[bigugly]

Thanks for the replies, will make sure to match the curve to the hook.

[FrequentFlyer]

hackle length should be roughly the same as the hook gap.

Thanks fo r all the advice, it's great to have people with knowledge to pass on experience and know how!

[bigugly]

Can't get enough of this. Tied up some more today, 5 wooly buggers and 5 nymphs.

[Swing4Steel]

Coming along nicely

Boys and I are up to 325 flies. Some good, some really good and some well not so. Here are 6 nymphs I tied up today.
